Timber!-SOLSC-8/31

Stories swirled around our area like the wind that was whipping outside. People passed on news of numerous power outages, fallen trees, and closed schools. From inside the sturdy school, stories such as these made very little sense. Then we heard it: wind gusts were pounding the walls of the gym.

Once I safely reached home, the wind seemed to have died down. But one thing showed just how wrong I was; a once tall tree in my backyard now lay flat in our yard. The truth of the saying “If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” is no; we heard nothing.
